Man, talk about peaking at the right time! My 500JRH, with open sights, is really shooting well. I put 5 shots at 50 yards in a group I could cover with my hand. For me, that is a GREAT group. And I'm able to do it over and over.
My confidence in this revolver is at an all time high heading into hunting season. Our season starts September 1st, and I can't wait.
Just for grins-- the load is a 440gr WFNGC over 10.8 grains of Titegroup. From all I've been reading, and from listening to those with more experience than I have, slowing my velocity down (to about 1000fps) will allow this particular bullet to be even MORE effective down range. I have taken those suggestions to heart, and gotten rid of the H110 load... for now. We will see what happens.

This thread is useless without pics!

Ya Paul, once you get those heavy slugs moving they like to keep moving, even at modest speeds.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

HAHA!! Sorry Zee! Here is the before and after pics of my Ruger Super Blackhawk in 500JRH. My pictures are nowhere near as good as yours, so you'll have to use your imagination a little bit as my pictures don't do this gun justice. It started out as a 44mag, but someone butchered it up pretty bad. They tried to re-crown it, and it wasn't even CLOSE to square. Didn't have the plunger thing (can't remember what the real name is) that kicks out the spent casings. Handle was scratched up pretty bad. I picked it up just for the frame and sent it to Jack Huntington for a new life.
